After several hours, Tang Wulin and the others had already arrived at the Federation Headquarters...
Gazing at the technologically imbued buildings before them, Xie Xie couldn't help exclaiming, "This... this is the Federation Headquarters? Every part is brimming with a sense of technology!"
Yue Zhengyu raised an eyebrow. "This is just the outer area of the federation. Once you enter inside, you'll realize the extent of the federation's technological advancements!"
Xu Xiaoyan said in surprise, "Zhengyu, have you been to the Federation Headquarters before?"
Without denying, Yue Zhengyu explained, "Of course, my grandfather is the commander of the Southern Legion. I've been here with him before, though it wasn't as luxurious as this back then!"
Xu Lizhi stroked his chin, puzzlingly saying, "Worthy of the top-ranked Angel Family. However, I remember the Yuanen Clan is also one of the top families, right? Ye Hui, have you never been here before?"
Upon this remark, both Yuanen Yehui and Yuanen Zhentian's faces showed subtle changes...
Ye Xinglan, who quickly caught on, covered Xu Lizhi's mouth and said apologetically, "Ye Hui, Elder Yuanen, Lizhi didn't mean to bring that up, I apologize to you both on his behalf!"
Shrek Academy had been destroyed, and the Yuanen Clan residing within it most certainly hadn't been spared!
Her words were undoubtedly like sprinkling salt on their wounds...
Yuanen Yehui simply remained silent...
Yuanen Zhentian sighed, "It's alright, what's happened has happened, and there's no way to reverse it now!"
The sole relief was that not all of the Yuanen Clan had joined Shrek Academy, some were still at their original habitat; otherwise, the Yuanen Clan might have been reduced to just him and Ye Hui.
Realizing this, Xu Lizhi closed his mouth and said no more...
At last, it was Long Yeyue who changed the subject. "Zhengyu, since you've been here before, you shall lead the way."
Blinking, Yue Zhengyu nodded. "Yes, Elder Long!"
He then promptly walked up to the member of the federation responsible for security...
The federation members just glanced at him and recognized that Yue Zhengyu's status was not low. They asked, "Ahead is the Federation Headquarters, inaccessible to non-federation members. Please show your identity!"
Unperturbed, Yue Zhengyu said, "Please notify them that people from Shrek Academy have arrived."
Hearing this sentence, they looked at each other and became somewhat nervous...
Feeling somewhat relieved they hadn't offended the other party!
"Please wait, I will go to report immediately!"
One of them was dispatched to convey the message.
A few minutes later, the high-ranking politicians of the Federation personally came out to welcome them...
The leading Chairman began with a smile, "Welcome, Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, to the federation. Your presence brings honor to this place!"
As befits the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, even without releasing their Martial Souls, they exuded a dreadful aura invisibly!
He who would not strike the smiling man, Long Yeyue kept her demeanor neutral and said, "You're too kind, we are the ones imposing!"
The Chairman glanced around and asked, "Light and Shadow Douluo, may I know who the current Sea God Pavilion Master is?"
Seeing the moment, Tang Wulin stepped forward and said with neither humility nor arrogance, "I am the present Sea God Pavilion Master, Tang Wulin."
At this time, he represented the entire Shrek Academy and, thus, had to exude the aura befitting the Sea God Pavilion Master!
The Chairman was slightly surprised and said, "Young Friend Wulin is so young to have become the Sea God Pavilion Master, truly a hero amongst the young!"
Although Tang Wulin was somewhat displeased with this pretense, he still calmly responded, "You flatter me, Chairman."
Qiangu Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly interjected, "Chairman, it doesn't seem appropriate to discuss these matters with our distinguished guests from Shrek Academy here."
Chairman feigned realization, "The Vice Chairman is right, I was indeed abrupt. Please, come in!"
Due to the large number of people, including Tang Wulin and other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, they accompanied the Federation politicians to the Council Hall at the top level...
As for the remaining Shrek students, they were arranged to stay in luxurious VIP rooms specially prepared for honored guests!
...
Inside the luxurious VIP room...
At first glance, all the furniture was neatly arranged, with ample space for activities, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people!
Not only that, there was also a private cultivation room, and an outdoor swimming pool that was several hundred meters wide...
The selection of fruits and ingredients was exhaustive; it was truly an imperial level of treatment!
Xie Xie, who was half-lying in the swimming pool sipping a cold drink, suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Ah, this room is incredible, exuding the scent of money everywhere. If possible, I'd be willing to live here for a lifetime."
Those juniors who were emulating him also showed contented expressions...
"Senior Xie Xie is right, these amenities are far better than the dorm rooms at Shrek Academy!"
"Private cultivation rooms, an outdoor swimming pool; if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would think I was dreaming!"
"I wonder if we'll get such good conditions after joining the Federation!"
"Forget it, after all our hard work, let's enjoy the moment now!"
Yue Zhengyu glanced at them and said coldly, "That bunch, led by Xie Xie, really lacks backbone!"
Xu Xiaoyan earnestly agreed, "Yeah, we came here to question the Federation, how could we be satisfied with just a little trick like this..."
Ye Xinglan felt somewhat ashamed and covered her cheeks, "Um, Xiao Yan, could you put down what you're holding when you speak? It really undermines your credibility!"
Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes and gave an embarrassed chuckle, "Heh... hehe, after all, it's free, right? You can't miss out on free food, and we might not have this chance again!"
Then, she pointed towards Xu Lizhi, "Look, Lizhi is enjoying his food too!"
Ye Xinglan turned to see Xu Lizhi devouring food like a hungry wolf, with an expression of satisfaction appearing on his face from time to time...
Her complexion instantly darkened as she scolded, "Lizhi!!"
Xu Lizhi pouted, looking a bit aggrieved, "Sister Xinglan, it's not my fault, the food is really too delicious, usually we can't eat like this. Why don't you try some?"
After saying that, he extended his greasy palm, offering a half-eaten crab leg...
Ye Xinglan felt a chill, "No... no need, you go ahead and eat!"
Yuanen Yehui, witnessing the scene before her, said coldly, "Can everyone be serious for a moment? We still don't know the situation with the abyss!"
After the withdrawal of Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, the Blood God Army would definitely not be able to withstand the onslaught of the Abyssal Creature Army!
The fate of the Douluo Continent hung by a thread!!
Xu Xiaoyan stopped what she was doing, adopting a softer tone, "You know... Ye Hui, we understand that the situation is critical, but worrying won't solve anything. It's better to enjoy ourselves now."
"If a war breaks out later, there won't be any time left for pleasure!"
Where there's war, there's death!
They did not have absolute confidence that they could survive!
